Man faces charges for burglary, injury to elderly

A Montgomery County man was indicted Thursday for allegedly burglarizing a home and injuring its elderly occupant.

The Montgomery County Grand Jury also indicted Chad Allen Peikert, 30, for driving while intoxicated - third or more.

Peikert is in the Montgomery County Jail without bond. Jail records also show a “blue” warrant was issued for possible parole violations by Peikert.

It was on Feb. 10 of this year that Peikert broke into a woman’s home with “intent to commit theft and attempted to commit or committed,” the indictment stated.

The indictment also states Peikert, during the course of his alleged robbery, pushed the female occupant. Since the victim is at least 65 years old, Peikert was indicted for Injury to an Elderly Individual.

Peikert was arrested on the same day.

Burglary of a Habitation is a second-degree felony and punishable by a prison term of 2 to 20 years, and a maximum fine of $10,000, if convicted. The injury charge is a third-degree felony that carries with it a prison term of 2 to 10 years, and fine up to $10,000.

Peikert was arrested on Dec. 16 for allegedly driving while intoxicated. Last week’s indictment stated Peikert was convicted of DWI in Harris County in 2001 and 2003.

Peikert was indicted on Nov. 13, 2012 for credit/debit card abuse for allegedly using a fuel card without the owner’s consent. The charge is being tried as a third-degree felony.

Peikert’s next court appearance is scheduled for May 9.
